The roots of verbs and most nouns in the Semitic languages are characterized as a sequence of consonants or " radicals " (hence the term consonantal root ). Such abstract consonantal roots are used in the formation of actual words by adding the vowels and non-root consonants (or " transfixes ") which go with a particular morphological category around the root consonants, in an appropriate way, generally following specific patterns. It is a peculiarity of Semitic linguistics that a large majority of these consonantal roots are triliterals (although there are a number of quadriliterals, and in some languages also biliterals).

In particular, monosyllabic biconsonantal names are associated with a pre- Natufian cultural background, i.e., older than c. 14500 BCE .

110-534: A quadriliteral root is actually a reduplication of a two-consonant sequence. So in Hebrew דגדג digdeg / Arabic دغدغ daġdaġa means "he tickled", and in Arabic زلزل zalzala means "he shook". Generally, only a subset of the verb derivations formed from triliteral roots are allowed with quadriliteral roots. For example, in Hebrew, the Piʿel, Puʿal, and Hiṯpaʿel , and in Arabic, forms similar to
132-507: A sequence of two consonants (a relaxation of the situation in early Semitic, where only one consonant was allowed), which has opened the door for a very small set of loan words to manifest apparent five root-consonant forms, such as טלגרף tilgref "he telegraphed". However, -lgr- always appears as an indivisible cluster in the derivation of this verb and so the five root-consonant forms do not display any fundamentally different morphological patterns from four root-consonant forms (and
154-483: Is a consonantal root containing a sequence of four consonants (instead of three consonants , as is more often the case). A quadriliteral form is a word derived from such a four-consonant root. For example, the abstract quadriliteral root t-r-g-m / t-r-j-m gives rise to the verb forms תרגם tirgem in Hebrew, ترجم tarjama in Arabic, ተረጐመ täräggwämä in Amharic , all meaning "he translated". In some cases,

Although most roots in Hebrew seem to be triliteral, many of them were originally biliteral, cf. the relation between: The Hebrew root ש־ק־ף – √sh-q-p "look out/through" or "reflect" deriving from ק־ף – √q-p "bend, arch, lean towards" and similar verbs fit into the shaCCéC verb-pattern.

People with
220-741: Is a root containing a sequence of three consonants. The following are some of the forms which can be derived from the triconsonantal root k-t-b כ־ת־ב ك-ت-ب (general overall meaning "to write") in Hebrew and Arabic: Note: The Hebrew fricatives stemming from begadkefat lenition are transcribed here as "ḵ", "ṯ" and "ḇ", to retain their connection with the consonantal root כ־ת־ב k-t-b. They are pronounced [ x ] , [ θ ] , [ β ] in Biblical Hebrew and [ χ ] , [ t ] , [ v ] in Modern Hebrew respectively. Modern Hebrew has no gemination ; where there
242-642: Is debate about whether both biconsonantal and triconsonantal roots were represented in Proto-Afroasiatic , or whether one or the other of them was the original form of the Afroasiatic verb. According to one study of the Proto-Semitic lexicon, biconsonantal roots are more abundant for words denoting Stone Age materials, whereas materials discovered during the Neolithic are uniquely triconsonantal. This implies

However, in modern Israeli Hebrew, syllables are allowed to begin with
